Ok thanks to everyone, and to the first comment i actually had my fist child at 16(whom im very proud of!) with my now husband my son is two and was planned as well was this pregnancy, so unless you know the whole situation i would not evaluate it! i tried walking, and sex, i dont think i could do castor oil again it was so nasty, and i dont know if breaking my own water is a good idea, my first son was born at 28 weeks and he is perfectly fine and healthy, so this one coming too early is not a problem to me! thanks guys!

To the first person who answered- Just because she is 19 doesn't mean anything. Who are you to judge? Why do you automatically assume this is her second accidental pregnancy? You know NOTHING about this person so get your judgemental, narrow minded head out of your ***, and keep your stupid comments to yourself.
Ive heard walking, sex, and nipple tweaking can help kick start labor. Good luck!

well me personally the first time i used castor oil it didnt work the second time it did.. ( only had hour and half of labor it workd so fast) yes you could break your own water but that can be dangerous because if the baby hasnt dropped or if the umbilical cord is down some when you break the water the umbilical cord and come out with the water that would suck and can cause some serious problems. trying walking warm bath after having a warmer bath have sex.. between the body being relaxed and then having an orgasm it increases your chances of home labor induction. another way is if you know a nurse or doctor to strip your membranes and push the bag of waters apart. this is to help also.. i had my husband check my cervix at home to see if it was progressing at all. Good luck to you though. and i understand your done and want to have this baby asap i know i already feel that way. pregnant with my 3rd (29 weeks prego). good luck though...
***to the person who naggin her about her being 19 on her second. im 21 on my third child... big woop and my children were planned.
*** to the person who said that if you start labor before your body is ready is wrong also... my son i had 5 1/2 hours of labor TOTAL. and my daughter i had 1 1/2 of labor TOTAL... so if that was long and hard.. dang i would hate to see it any other way... lol and my labors were nothing.. i didnt use medication either. yea it hurt but what kid doesnt hurt coming out? i screamed so loud you could hear me in the waiting area. with both my kids.. but i didnt use medication.. and i didnt have long labors either. my daughter was 2 pushes and she was out. my son was 30 mins of push (with breaks because cord was around his neck) and he was out...

well im 37.5 weeks and i too am tired and not getting any sleep... i am 4 cm dialated. ( last Thursday I was at least ) and 70% effaced.... was in hospital with contractions 2 min apart... they let me go because after an hour of being there i hadnt dialated anymore... also because they didnt want me to have baby at 36 weeks... so although i am very tired and aching all over the place... i just want my baby to be born when she is ready... my first was born at 34 weeks and had some complications... we are full term now so anytime is a good time... hopefully soon... Good luck...i heard alot of walking brings on labor... dont know if its true or not

Its the completed body of the baby that releases hormones which cause your body to release its own response hormones that begin labor.
You go into labor when your baby is ready. If its before then, consequentially your body will not be ready. If you start labor before your body is ready it will be a longer more painful labor. End of story.
Personally, I was 4 days away from my due date, got SO pissed off from being constipated all my pregnancy that I sat on the toilet and horked away until I accidentally broke my water. I was in labor for 43 1/2 hours.
My advice is to wait, but if you refuse to, try walking, and stimulating your nipples for 20-30 minutes at a time. That REALLY moves things along.
Age has nothing to do with anything. Its responsibility. Anyone can decide to be mature enough for kids, and no one else gets to decide that for them.

LOL, I hear you girl, I am supposed to be due tomorrow but then my doc changed my due date to the 27th. I have been one centimeter dilated since I was 35 weeks. I have been having contractions and labor pains for almost 2 weeks now and still no baby, what's worse is my doc doesn't induce until you go OVER 42weeks..lol. I have tried to have all the sex I can have, I've eaten some of the most spiciest foods this world has, I've walked my *** off, taken hot showers, tried nipple stimulation, eaten fresh pineapple and whatever else you can think of, I came to the conclusion that no matter what our babies will come when they are good and ready. I hope you have your lil one soon, good luck!

be patient your baby will come when he or she is ready. you can try walking, sometimes this will bring on contractions, although sometimes they do just go away. from the sounds of it you don't sound like you are very far off from delivering even if you let nature takes its course. so take some time to get some last minute things done, paint your toenails, pack your bag, and hit the mall (you get alot of walking done there lol) in search of some new outfits for your soon to be born! enjoy the ride.......oh and sex can help as well as nipple stimmulating, but both have to be done ALOT to actually work. good luck though, and remember you are almost there!

Walking and sex. That's about it!
I would strongly advise NOT to induce labor, and to let it happen naturally. I was induced, and had complications upon complications. Plus, having contractions 2 minutes apart (STRONG....according to my pain and the nurses who felt horrible for me...) for 14 hours, then pushing for 2...definitely wish I could have waited for the natural part!!!
3 of the 5 of my friends who were induced as well said they will never do it again unless they HAVE to...
Just try walking and sex (if comfortable). It sucks, yes...but trust me, I would have rather stayed pregnant for 50 weeks than be induced...and I was having braxton hicks and was severely swollen for the last four weeks!!

Oh, I only remember how much easier it was when I carried my daughter on the inside!! I wanted to induce too... If only I had known!!! I know it's your second... and I remember how uncomfortable the end of pregnancy is. I;m just sending you a little reminder that they are easier to carry, feed, and care for when in the womb. But you already know that. Good luck!!! I wish you the best. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl???

The baby will come out when it is his time. He is in their healthy and growing, which is a lot more than some people get.
dont be selfish and enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can. Some women give birth way too early, and they have to deal with sick under developed babies.

in case you employ castor oil do no longer drink it. at the start it tastes nasty, secondly it motives diarrhea and you do no longer desire that in case you're in exertions. in case you will use it rub it on your abdomen and canopy the section w/ saran wrap and place a heating pad or moist wash clothing over it. It nevertheless facilitates to bring about exertions w/ out the undesirable area outcomes. i will supply you with a warning that's messy although! additionally, rubbing your nipples for prolonged sessions of time, intercourse and walking help to bring about contractions additionally.
